基于随机波动率状态转移特征的上证50ETF期权定价

期权定价模型的构建过程中，单因子随机波动率模型生成的波动率曲线形状与波动率水平相关性微弱，且无法确切反映波动过程的状态转移特征。为此，本文使用连续马尔可夫链刻画波动状态，在Heston模型的基础上，针对其方差动态过程中所有参数均为波动状态任意函数的情景，得到了一类具有状态转移特征的随机波动率模型；进一步，根据条件仿射模型的特征函数，结合波动路径的蒙特卡罗模拟，实现了欧式期权半解析定价，其中，采用基于粒子滤波的极大似然估计方法估计模型参数；特别地，对上证50ETF期权进行了实证研究。结果表明：具有状态转移特征且方差的基准长期均值及波动率均依赖于波动状态的随机波动率模型，能够显著提升上证50ETF期权定价的准确性和稳健性。

Pricing Variance Swaps in a Hybrid Model of Stochastic Volatility and Interest Rate with Regime-Switching

In this paper, we consider the problem of pricing discretely-sampled variance swaps based on a hybrid model of stochastic volatility and stochastic interest rate with regime-switching. Our modeling framework extends the Heston stochastic volatility model by including the Cox-Ingersoll-Ross (CIR) stochastic interest rate model. In addition, certain model parameters in our model switch according to a continuous-time observable Markov chain process. This enables our model to capture several macroeconomic issues such as alternating business cycles. A semi-closed form pricing formula for variance swaps is derived. The pricing formula is assessed through numerical implementation, where we validate our pricing formula against the Monte Carlo simulation. The impact of incorporating regime-switching for pricing variance swaps is also discussed, where variance swaps prices with and without regime-switching effects are examined in our model. We also explore the economic consequence for the prices of variance swaps by allowing the Heston-CIR model to switch across three different regimes.     

On a multiple credit rating migration model with stochastic interest rate

In this paper, we explore a pricing model for corporate bond accompanied with multiple credit rating migration risk and stochastic interest rate. The bond price volatility strongly depends on potentially multiple credit rating migration and stochastic change of interest rate. A free boundary problem of partial differential equation is presented, which is the equivalent transformation of the pricing model. The existence, uniqueness, and regularity for the free boundary problem are established to guarantee the rationality of the pricing model. Due to the stochastic change of interest rate, the discontinuous coefficient in the free boundary problem depends explicitly on the time variable but is convergent as time tends to infinity. Accordingly, an auxiliary free boundary problem is constructed, whose coefficient is the convergent limit of the coefficient in the original free boundary problem. With some constraint on the risk discount rate satisfied, we prove that a unique traveling wave exists in the auxiliary free boundary problem. The inductive method is adopted to fit the multiplicity of credit rating. Then we show that the solution of the original free boundary problem converges to the traveling wave in the auxiliary free boundary problem. Returning to the pricing model with multiple credit rating migration and stochastic interest rate, we conclude that the bond price profile can be captured by a traveling wave pattern coupling with a guaranteed bond price with face value equal to one at the maturity.

服务水平约束下动态定价与库存管理

本文研究服务水平约束下的动态定价与库存管理问题。企业在有限期内销售某种产品,产品的需求为随机需求,且期望需求依赖于产品价格。在每一期期初,企业需要在满足服务水平约束的条件下同时决定订货量和产品价格。本文首先构建了动态定价和订购联合决策的随机动态规划模型,并证明了最优解的存在性。进一步,通过对最优解的结构进行刻画,将原问题的求解转化为若干子问题的求解,降低了问题求解的难度。通过对最优解的分析发现,当期初库存增大时,产品最优价格降低。通过分析目标服务水平对利润的影响,证明了服务水平与利润之间存在权衡,实现高的服务水平需要承受利润损失。数值模拟表明,相对于传统的静态定价策略,采用动态定价策略可以降低追求服务水平所带来的利润损失,验证了动态定价策略的有效性。     

Computational Methods for Pricing American Put Options

This work develops computational methods for pricing American put options under a Markov-switching diffusion market model. Two methods are suggested in this paper. The first method is a stochastic approximation approach. It can handle option pricing in a finite horizon, which is particularly useful in practice and provides a systematic approach. It does not require calibration of the system parameters nor estimation of the states of the switching process. Asymptotic results of the recursive algorithms are developed. The second method is based on a selling rule for the liquidation of a stock for perpetual options. Numerical results using stochastic approximation and Monte Carlo simulation are reported. Comparisons of different methods are made. This research was supported in part by the National Science Foundation and in part by the Wayne State University Research Enhancement Program.

针对综合评价中方法种类繁多且无统一比较标准的问题,选取了四种突出被评价对象之间差异的评价方法,采用随机模拟的方式分别从评价方法的稳定性及对差异的凸显能力两个方面进行了比较分析。得出了四种方法稳定性由高到低分别为均方差法、最大离差法、熵值法、拉开档次法,且评价方法的稳定性越高,则其对差异的凸显能力反而越差的结论。该研究不仅验证了差异驱动型评价方法的相关特性,为评价者关于评价方法的选取提供了参考意见,而且随机模拟方法的应用,可为类似的多评价方法的比较问题提供技术参考。     

Options on Realized Variance in Log-OU Models

Abstract

We study the pricing of options on realized variance in a general class of Log-OU (Ornstein–Ühlenbeck) stochastic volatility models. The class includes several important models proposed in the literature. Having as common feature the log-normal law of instantaneous variance, the application of standard Fourier–Laplace transform methods is not feasible. We derive extensions of Asian pricing methods, to obtain bounds, in particular, a very tight lower bound for options on realized variance.     

Pricing problems with a continuum of customers as stochastic Stackelberg games

The pricing problem where a company sells a certain kind of product to a continuum of customers is considered. It is formulated as a stochastic Stackelberg game with nonnested information structure. The inducible region concept, recently developed for deterministic Stackelberg games, is extended to treat the stochastic pricing problem. Necessary and sufficient conditions for a pricing scheme to be optimal are derived, and the pricing problem is solved by first delineating its inducible region, and then solving a constrained optimal control problem.The research work reported here as supported in part by the National Science Foundation under Grant ECS-81-05984, Grant ECS-82-10673, and by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research under AFOSR Grant 80-0098.     

随机挽回率下第n次违约互换的蒙特卡罗模拟定价

考虑到挽回率是违约互换定价的重要因素,同时获得准确的挽回率也是极其困难的,于是假设挽回率是随机的,并与对应资产违约时间呈Copula类相依结构.在该假设条件下提出一种对第n次违约互换定价的模拟算法.通过实证模拟发现,恒定挽回率,独立随机挽回率和Copula结构的挽回率对应的定价结果相差较大.
